warbird15 Posted August 3, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 3, 2018 My grandfather has started collecting air force unit patches. Anyone know a good reference book that covers air force patches? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefighter Posted August 3, 2018 Share #4 Posted August 3, 2018 What information are you looking for? But GWB123 is correct, best place to start is there. AF patches are so different from any other service. So many different squadrons and then redesignations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily most of them are labeled what they are so identification is not too difficult. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Ragan Posted August 4, 2018 Share #7 Posted August 4, 2018 Jerome Polder published a whole series of books on Air Force patches and mottoes. Do a computer search for "Aeroemblems", and you should find more info about these. Thousands of Air Force patches are covered in this series of books.

firefighter Posted August 5, 2018 Share #9 Posted August 5, 2018 Sounds good, I’ll check it out. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thats the guy. I could find my books to give you a name. He has 2 books with mottos and a ton of other great information. The patch books are good but keep in mind they are b/w and lack some details because of that. Still a great series as there are very few books on USAF patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
